    THE ART OF DOFRESH

    Mar 15, 2022 5 minutes

    We chat to the France-based freelance illustrator known as Dofresh about his inspirations, favourite artists, how his passion for sci-fi began, and the importance of focusing on creating what you love…

    What do you love about painting sci-fi inspired scenes and visuals?

    I’ve always loved sci-fi, since my childhood. I remember spending hours closely observing book covers and comics made by the golden age masters (Moebius, Syd Mead, Chris Foss, John Berkey, to name a few). What I love the most about sci-fi is the ability to explore possible trajectories for mankind, not just on technological levels, but also political or sociological.

    Do you have a particular approach to your art?

    I prefer to convey feelings, to be able to somehow tell a story without words. I also use my memories and my everyday experiences in order to reinject them into my illustrations (in my personal work, anyway).
